Screens trained the reflex, but parents sign the permission slip. If attention is currency, disruption is a career path, and escalation is the benefits package. The fix is not heroic. It is dull and necessary. Enforce the rule. Remove the problem. Stop treating courtesy like a debate topic and start treating it like seating.

Date nights deserve darkness, not lighthouse beams and free insult previews. The theater used to sell a shared mood. It still can, if adults act like adults and kids learn that no is a complete sentence. Keep the phone in the pocket and the drama on the screen. The credits roll cleaner when the audience remembers it is one.
‘You need to learn some respect’: Teen and his entitled mother ruin couple’s movie date night after they ask the teenager to stop filming in the theater
Phone glow cuts the dark, and a teenager starts filming his little bootleg Instagram masterpiece while an entitled mother warms up for a hallway brawl. A polite nudge to stop turns into curses, posturing, and a parent who treats basic manners like an insult.
This is the new theater economy where silence is optional and anyone who enforces it becomes the villain of someone else's IG post. The phone isn't a phone, it's a badge that says rules are for other people, and the blue light is the siren that calls them. Parents like this do not correct behavior, they outsource consequences to staff and then complain about disrespect. Ask for courtesy, get screamed at. Bring an usher, get a spectacle. Sit back down, get a victory lap of fidgets and slurs. It is not random. It is a system that rewards noise and punishes boundaries.
